Faber, Virginia

Faber is an unincorporated community in Nelson County, Virginia, United States.[1] It is the location of the Monroe Institute.[2]

Faber was one of the communities mentioned in several episodes of the television series, The Waltons. The family drama about post-Great Depression rural Virginia drew from the geography of Faber and nearby Schuyler and involved the Schuyler Baptist Church.[3][4]
